I can say things are definitely better than 2 weeks ago. My ticker says I’ve lost 7 lbs…and 3 of those were last week!!

I have cut back on the junk food and increased my exercise. My water consumption is up; not consistent yet, but I’m getting there.

My biggest hurdle right now is eating enough fruits and vegetables. I think that goes back to my issue with needing to learn to plan my meals.

MyFitnessPal.com is definitely helping me. Seeing how many calories different foods are is a huge deterrent for wanting to eat too much of a bad thing. Plus I can keep track of all the water I’ve been drinking and the exercise I’ve been doing. And I love that I have some friends on there now; supporting me as I go.

If you’re not using a tracker of some sort, I highly recommend finding one that you like. Join me on MyFitnessPal.com and we can support each other!!

I promise to eat 2 veggies and 1 fruit a day.
(I know it’s not enough…but it’s a start.)

What promises are you making for yourself this week??
